Okay, this is what I figured but wasn't sure! The neurotic part of me was thinking they told me I was in the top tier just to appease me haha. Thanks for the insight.

Is each third split up equally? Like numbers and ratio of out of state and instate?
Each third has roughly the same number of people but due to the way candidates are placed on the waitlist, I don't think IS/OOS status is taken into much consideration since at this point we are looking to place the most desirable/qualified candidates at the highest third and not so much whether they are IS or OOS. If someone is IS then they are more likely to accept the position if taken off of the waitlist (and thus potentially more desirable) but I don't think admissions actively tries to make sure there is an equal number of IS and OOS people in each third if that makes sense. As far as I know, I do not think admissions ranks the IS candidates and OOS candidates separately--everyone at a given interview date is ranked in one pool.
Once upon a time I stalked all the EVMS application threads and stumbled on someone reporting bottom third.
Moose out.
Thanks!
besides submitting FAFSA, were there any other forms that we had to complete for financial aid/institutional aid? Still waiting to hear back post-II
OOS, male. Will not be accepting the offer though, hope it goes to one of you great people!
There is an EVMS specific application on the portal once you get the official acceptance.

Congrats penny! Just got an email myself, on the waitlist after interviewing March 24. Gonna call later today and find out my third.
Edit: Top 1/3 for me as well. Good news! Kinda hoping I could prove to you guys there are people in the bottom though. haha

Was it email or phone call?
Congrats!! Are you IS or OOS?

OOS, and thank you all for the congrats! I got an e-mail that actually went to my spam folder, so make sure to keep checking that. Thanks for the heads up on second look - I will most likely be attending 🙂 Can't wait to meet you all!
I am in the same boat. PM if you want and we can talk about it more
Congrats! Preview weekend is April 21-22 and the tentative itinerary is posted on the c/o 2021 fb page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/107564096428396/ 🙂 If you haven't received an email with the details, I would give the admissions office a call especially if you would be interested in the student housing overnight option rather than a hotel.
Do you know if preview weekend is casual? Or do I need to get my dress shoes out?
Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile
On the itinerary it says business casual for Friday at least but I would double check with admissions. Usually when we say business casual we just mean "don't dress dumpy" (ie. no sweats, tshirts, ripped/distressed jeans, pajama pants, etc.) and as long as you make yourself presentable I think it's fine. Dress shoes may be too formal but if you have "nicer" shoes than sneakers/flip flops (like flats, boots, boat shoes) then I would go with that. Again, this is just from personal experience whenever the school tells us to dress 'business casual' (I didn't go to preview weekend) so the admissions might be more in the know.
No worries--I'm really detail-oriented so I pick up on things like that real fast. Again, it's a tentative itinerary so for all we know they might change the dress code to something more lax. I remember during our orientation picnic it was so incredibly hot and humid that they told us it was okay to wear shorts and "dress comfortably" despite the 'business casual' dress code for that day so that we wouldn't die of heat stroke 😛
For accepted/current students:
Has anyone's checklist been updated? I've completed everything currently open on the portal as far as the checklist goes, but nothing has changed on the visualzen checklist page (I figured that empty boxes by the items would change to check marks or something). For instance, I know my transcripts have been received, but it still shows an empty box. Also, any idea what the blood born pathogens item on visualzen is talking about? I haven't found anything on the portal about it.

The checklist can take a while to update but if you know that you have sent things in, then I wouldn't worry about it (if you really want to be sure, you can always give the admissions office a call).
EVMS will send additional emails regarding the blood borne pathogens and other health modules/requirements that you will need to fulfill prior to matriculation at a later time once they have a better gauge of the incoming class (ie. post-Traffic day). I had received these emails in mid-June so I wouldn't stress over it now 🙂
The email said it won't start updating until the end of the month. However, you should be getting emails from the various departments as things are turned in like health forms and transcripts.

Waitlist ("Top third") today after interviewing on 3/31.
I am a little (*cough*really*cough*) bummed because I absolutely loved the school and thought this was my best interview, but I wasn't expecting too much given the late interview date.

I was waitlisted OOS 1/3 last Monday after interviewing about 4 weeks prior to that... I also thought it was my best interview out of 7 and was bummed when I first got the waitlist, but I received an offer from them on Wednesday. I declined the offer recently as I'm looking to stay where I am, but keep your heads up! IIRC OOS waitlist has great movement.
All, just withdrew my offer--good luck! I'm in state.

Any of the people who got pulled off the waitlist care to share their basic demographic info? I'm guessing you're not white males? 
No issues for me...maybe I called at just the right time
What time are you calling?
I called yesterday, from 11 am to 4 pm, every hour (I’ve been told that I’m clingy, but I don’t get it). Then again this morning at 9:30 am.
Gave up, sent an email, worked like a charm.
I sure hope so, my Waitlist movement knee has been acting up lately.
I went back and looked through all my acceptance stuff and I don't see anywhere it specifically says a GPA, just the required prereqs.
But don't take my response as an okay to fail or anything. [emoji51]

haha definitely not planning on failing but have a chance to get a C or C- in one of my classes so just wanted to see! but appreciate you going through all that for me!
Were you accepted recently? If so, congratulations!
haha i wish! just got a little freaked out when I realized the worst case scenario for this class and if it would affect my waitlist schools, if I were lucky enough to be accepted down the road
Ugh, my sympathies. Good luck!
much appreciated!

Congratulations on the multiple acceptances! Would you be willing to share your stats?
Thanks! GPA c and s ~ 3.6, MCAT (old) 32, applied and interviewed early
Thank you, I expect you will be very gruntled with your final choice 😉
Did they send you a confirmation email back? I also withdrew yesterday but haven't heard anything in return.
